Mira - Oxidised Sterling Silver Oro Verde Quartz Wire-Wrapped Pendant Necklace - By SofiesC


Mira: Oxidised Sterling Silver Oro Verde Quartz Wire-Wrapped Pendant Necklace - By SofiesC

Meaurements: Top of bail to bottom of bead 43mm approx, Chain - 16"

Materials: Sterling silver wire, Oro Verde quartz and tourmaline

Description: This is a variation of the Ankaa pendant. This time I used an Oro Verde quartz carved briolette. This design combines intricate wire work and at the same time it's not stealing away the attention too much from the stone. The pendant really is a true eye catcher. This necklace has been oxidized and carefully polished to give an antique feeling to it and to enhance the detail of the design.

Nereids Treasure - By Orgellan


Sterling Silver Fluorite, London Blue Topaz, Swiss Blue Topaz, Kyanite, Iolite, Chalcedony, Moss Aquamarine & moonstone wire-wrapped Necklace - By Orgellan

Measurements: The length of the necklace is approx 17.5 inches (44cm) extending to 20 inches (51cm). The pendant length is approx 2.5 inches (6.5cm)

Materials: Sterling Silver, Fluorite, London Blue Topaz, Swiss Blue Topaz, Chalcedony, Iolite, Kyanite, Moss Aquamarine, Moonstone

Oceanic luxury.... beautiful blues teamed with aqua green tones and brooding grey, make this a necklace fit for any ocean goddess. This pendant necklace is entirely crafted by hand using sterling silver wire. The hand-formed silver pendant was adorned with finely woven sterling silver spiraling flourishes with a multitude of watery, ethereal gems clustering the frame. The gemstones used in the cluster are London Blue Topaz, Swiss Blue Topaz, Chalcedony, Iolite, Kyanite, Moss Aquamarine and Moonstone. At the bottom is a magnificent AAA Blue fluorite briolette, woth a coin of AAA London Blue Topaz set within with frame above the cluster. Coordinating gemstone links connect the pendant to the lengths of sterling silver chain, and the necklace is fastened with a hook clasp. The necklace is also fitted with an extender chain finished with a briolette of Iolite. Finally, I gave the sterling silver necklace an antique finish, complimenting the mystical feel of the piece. A wonderfully elegant, one of a kind necklace, filled with ethereal blues and watery magic, to be treasured and loved.

The Leaves Of Lothlorien By Zaplecione (Guest Designer)



Leaves Of Lothlorien - By Zaplecione (Guest Designer)
This set of bracelet and earings was designed because od Autumn, "Lord of The Rings" and beautiful elfs, who still live somewhere around us. The main boast of this bracelet is ornamental fastering, made with sterling and fine silver, sterling silver beads and lemon quartz rodelles. Two parts of fastening are connected with 3 piece of sterling silver chain, adorned with: lemon quartz rondelles (4-5 mm), sterling silver beads (2.5 mm), tiny lilac freshwater pearls (1.8 mm). Both pieces of fastening were adorned with beautiful champagne quartz briolettes (10mmx7mm). Length with ornamental fastening- 18.2 cm.
The earrings match with the bracelet very well - were made with sterling and fine silver wires, lemon quartz rondelles and champagne quartz briolettes (gems dimensions as mentioned above). Total length (including sterling silver earposts) almost 5 cm. Jewerly was oxidised and polished to bring out the beauty of the gemstones and subtlety of coils.

Stardust



Stardust
Meaurements: Adjustable, will fit any size From swirl to swirl – 8cm wide Neck – 1 cm wide
Materials: 14K gold filled wire, faceted rondelles of blue African Sapphire
Description: For the Queen in you! The Stardust necklace is a dramatic, decadently opulent and exceedingly comfortable wire wrapped open choker style necklace. The style is highly flattering and can with a little gentle tweaking be made to fit snug around any neck. Following the gentle curve of the neck I shaped 1.6 mm thick gold filled wire to a choker style frame and wrapped it completely with hair thin gold filled wire. I filled the frame lavishly to the brim with gorgeous faceted rondelles of sparkly blue African Sapphires, increasing the width by adding more rows of Sapphires, in the front of the necklace. The gold and the blue compliment each other perfectly and give a regal flair to the necklace. Due to the size and shape of the Stardust, it will not fit in standards size gift boxes. I am in the process of finding custom made boxes, but I fear it may still take some time. Do not hesitate to contact Wire Boutique if you have any questions regarding this.

Lady Snowdon - By Gemheaven


Lady Snowdon - By Gemheaven
Available Exclusively At Wire Boutique

Meaurements: The focal Tanzanite measures just over 0.5" or 1.5cmThe complete focal is 2" or 5cm approx - and at it widest 1.5" or just under 4 cm approxThe chain measures in length 18"/ 45.5cm extending to 19" / 48cm
Materials: Tanzanite, blue topaz, kyanite, sterling silver, natural blue chalcedony.
Description This necklace was designed and created after reading a beautiful book called Here Be Dragons by Sharon Pennan. Totally created with the heroine Joanne - Lady of Snowdon - in mind, I made the necklace regal and elegant. This fabulous tanzanite focal in the centre wire-wrapped piece inspired the colour scheme which includes blue topaz, Kyanite, natural blue chalcedony and lemon Quartz. Creating a sumptious chain to compliment with outstanding blue topaz stepped ovals and blue kyanite rondelles wire-wrapped to meet the chain - I think just defines the beauty of this piece. The Lady of Snowdon is Joanna - wife of the Prince of Wales Llewellyn. Joan was never called Princess of Wales, but, in Welsh, "Lady of Wales". She died at the royal home, Garth Celyn, Aber Garth Celyn, on the north coast of Gwynedd in 1237. Llywelyn's great grief at her death is recorded; he founded a Franciscan friary on the seashore at Llanfaes, opposite the royal home, in her honour. The friary was consecrated in 1240, shortly before Llywelyn died. It was closed down in 1537 by Henry VIII of England during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
